Banning things, ideas, or groups because they offend leftistyrants only reverses freedom's progress.

T

he reactionary, unprogressive, closed-minded, idiotardian left(birm) and other enemies of our freedoms and free markets want you to "think" feel that you're in mortal danger as long as there's some place you can see this—

Speaking as an American citizen with ancestors who both bravely fought under and bravely faced a Confederate battle flag — one while a Prisoner of War — I consider any ban of it anywhere not only a total desecration of their memory but an obscene disregard for their many struggles and sacrifices as well as their selfless service. For their land and ideals they each did the honorable thing when he saw that flag. What the few, cowardly despotists among us are mindlessly doing now is not.

When you become so frightened by the sight of a symbol — especially a highly historic one — that you must immediately go squealing like a little girl to the nearest authority figure to get them to completely oust it from each and every place where just your glimpsing it might somehow disturb your overly delicate worldview, you hand that symbol all the power it will ever need to forever terrorize and beat you.
